This blog features voices from PacBio — and our partners and colleagues — discussing the latest research, publications, and updates about HiFi sequencing.
We are thrilled to announce the winning proposals for both the HiFi shotgun metagenomics and Kinnex full-length 16S awards for the 2024 Microbial Genomics SMRT Grant. These innovative proposals…
In cities big and small, a hunt for an invisible threat unfolds right beneath our feet. Unseen but essential, our wastewater systems hold critical insights into public health. Wastewater…
The organisms you study might be tiny, but the importance of the work you do is anything but. PacBio HiFi sequencing brings the microscopic world into sharp focus, offering…
When new sequencing instruments are released, great leaps in genomics capabilities follow. But did you know that for some applications like 16S microbiome research, gene annotation, or cancer transcriptomics, “new-instrument-level” performance can be achieved with something as simple as an off-the-shelf kit?
Microbiology forms the bedrock of modern genetics and biotechnology. Whether its basic science, alternative energy development, drug discovery, or human health – our planet’s smallest organisms play a critical role…
The Revio system offers faster and more cost-effective long-read sequencing for metagenomics researchers, allowing for more high-quality and complete microbial datasets and access to new frontiers of discovery. The best…
Stay on top of important HiFi metagenomics research If you are interested in seeing how PacBio technology is making an impact in current metagenomics and microbiome research, our new…
Full-length 16S and shotgun metagenome HiFi sequencing with certified PacBio service providers can deliver remarkably affordable microbiome and metagenomic data with explanatory power that is second to none. Gaps, assembly…
Unlocking the secrets of complex communities and microbiomes represents one of the most exciting frontiers in microbiology, with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of human health, food…
We recently brought together Jeremy Wilkinson, Ph.D. (@jewilki), Microbiome and Metagenomics Market Lead at PacBio, Xiaowen Feng, Ph.D. (@0xfxfxf), Postdoctoral Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, and…
Microbial and metagenomics enthusiasts rejoice: newly optimized bioinformatics pipelines are enabling scientists to detect even more species and assemble more single contig metagenomes using HiFi sequencing than ever before…
The dog days of summer might be behind us, but our four-part Microbial Genomics Webinar Series is sticking around as a focal point of the summer. From the end…
As technology developers, one of our greatest joys is seeing how customers take our sequencing tools and deploy them for innovative and compelling new projects. Metagenomics has been one of…
Celiac disease happens in the gut, but scientists still don’t fully understand the complex interplay between host genetics and the environmental factors that lead to the development of the autoimmune…
Whether you are seeking to characterize microbial diversity in the gut, or distinguish between pathogenic and commensal bacteria on the skin, full-length 16S rRNA sequencing using PacBio systems is a…
